Interventions
Group Lifestyle Balance™
The Group Lifestyle Balance™ (GLB) program is a self-management intervention that has been shown to result in weight-loss and reduce the risk for Type 2 diabetes through increased physical activity and healthy eating behaviors in the general population. The GLB program curriculum used in this RCT will be adapted for individuals with TBI.
Attention Control Group
The attention control group will receive the same contact or "attention" as the intervention group. The attention control group will meet at the same frequency as the intervention group. Education for the sessions will be composed of content from the TBI Model Systems Knowledge Translation Center's factsheets. General topics will include discussion on (1) healthy brain and effects of TBI on cognitive, emotional, and behavioral functioning, (2) expectations for recovery, (3) preventative and management strategies for common TBI sequela (e.g. inability and impulsivity), (4) stress management, (5), signs and symptoms of depression, and (6) strategies for effective communication.
